Great Content AND Social Benefit
Chocolate Films is a unique video agency with two goals: to deliver amazing content for our clients and to deliver meaningful social benefit.
We’re a full service video production company. Our tight team of over 20 full time producers, filmmakers, animators, writers create content from the initial idea, all the way to distribution. We’re based in Glasgow and London, we work with our own kit and we recently built our own central London studio – Nine Elms Studio, just by the US Embassy in Battersea.
But unlike almost every other agency we’re a social enterprise . Our profits support Chocolate Films Workshops – these are filmmaking experiences and programmes that we deliver to about 3000 children and young people annually. So when you work with Chocolate Films, you get fantastic video content – and make the world a little bit better!
Chocolate Films is a leading video production agency for directly commissioned content. Trusted by clients across the arts, heritage, corporate, medical, education, charity and public sectors since 2001, we will deliver exceptional video that reaches your business’s goals.

What our clients say
and annual Awards. Mary, Lucia and the team did a fantastic job at capturing the look, feel and emotions tied to the events and we were really pleased at how they turned out. They held a number of briefing calls and kept us updated of their progress throughout! Looking forward to working with the team again!
The workshops are really hands-on and encourage so much creativity, which is fantastic to see. My child feels so proud of what they’re creating, and the films they work on always turn out brilliant.
If you’re looking for a fun and creative activity for your kids, I can’t recommend their workshops enough.
